Residents and colleagues at HC-One’s
Leighton Court Care Home in Wallasey, Merseyside, came together for a vibrant and meaningful celebration of Pride Month, honouring love, inclusivity, and the progress made toward equality for the LGBTQ+ community.
The morning was filled with joy, reflection, and creativity. Residents explored the lives and words of influential LGBTQ+ figures throughout history, sparking thoughtful conversation about the roots of Pride and its significance today. The home’s notice board was soon transformed with colourful rainbow and heart artwork created by residents, proudly displaying their support.
The celebration was brought to life with fantastic live music from Quinn Barnett, a dedicated Duke of Edinburgh volunteer, whose energetic performance had everyone singing and dancing. A highlight of the event was a rousing group rendition of “All You Need is Love,” filling the room with unity and joy.
To top off the celebration, residents enjoyed a vibrant rainbow fruit platter, reflecting the spirit of the Pride flag and symbolising the diversity and beauty of the community.
